Where did India get into the picture here ? The only protests going in India are those which are against government initiatives to help minorities.

Interestingly, you didn't mention Pakistan, Saudi Arabia etc. where minorities are actually being killed, raped or converted.


You're kidding, right? Google "India oppression" and I guarantee you'll see several links towards what's going on in India-controlled Kashmir.


Just 5% rapists are punished by Indian regime when the victim is SC/ST https://ncrb.gov.in

A separate country to 300 million SC/ST is the solution to Untouchability in South Asia https://chng.it/kJphRWWBRr #HathrasCase

Why insult me instead of just making your case? I'm a bit more sympathetic to a comparison between Central Americans migrants -> US and Uighurs -> China, although there are striking differences even between the two: foremost, Uighurs are Chinese citizens, and Central Americans are not US citizens, which is a major, major difference. As such, Central Americans are not, by definition, a "US minority group". I had assumed you were comparing the present situation of black Americans and the Uighurs.

Lots of things made me angry when I was in my teens and 20s that I look back on now in my 50s and understand much better (eg, I was furious at the lack of US intervention in Bosnia. I now understand much better the reasons driving non-interventionism, and I'm able to see the compassion driving it, even if I don't always agree.).

Edit: And BTW, it wasn't I who flagged your response, despite the ad hominem. But those things rarely play well on HN, as I'm sure you know.


It is incredibly dishonest to compare the US border situation with what is happening to Uighurs in China as if they are at all the same thing.
